I dont' know where the inlet/outlets on a C&R radiator are but you can find 'performance hoses' on eBay. OBX makes some good silicone ones. Check on CI Motorsports also.

Re: radiator hoses...
Just run the stock replacement hoses from advance. Thats what I run and never have any problems. If your exhaust is so close to the hose that it is exposed to extreme heat then it should be protected. Trying to swap to a hose that MAY be able to withstand higher temps is not a good solution.

Re: radiator hoses...
not really TOO close, its more of a thing of me trying to improve the overall cooling efficiency, not so much that the hose is in a bad spot...

but thanks, i found the perfect kit on ebay...=) $45 for upper and lower black obx hoses....

not bad?

That's the going price for those OBX hoses pretty much anywhere. I honestly don't think that there's a different with cooling by using those hoses. It's more to stop the stock rubber ones from melting. What would be nice would be to see a log of a before and after (same exact conditions) but with the different hoses. I'm sure there's no change.

Re: radiator hoses...
My stock hose last over 2 years within 1 inch of the DP so the stock hoses are more than good.
